that do not work. They do not appear on the screen either. These are
usually inserted using Altgr. I tried Lyx betas 2 and 3 for Windows.
What should I do or is this still a bug?
I am using an IBM R50e laptop with Hungarian keyboard. The language of
the article document is English, the "Use language's default encoding"
option is on. The "Use keyboard map" option in the Preferences is off,
as in the case of Lyx 1.4.4 where everything worked.
Many characters can be entered with the use of Altgr key. In the
uppermost row of the keybard the key wave line ~ and the accent
character ` appear with Altgrey but the others, including the carets up
^ and down ˇ and the degree ° do not. These latters, of course, appear
in other software as you perhaps see in this message too.
Let me draw your attention to the message lyx-1.5: textdegree

Hi,
studying the Latex error messages, I noticed that lyx-1.4 sets the
inputencoding to latin1. This works for textdegree. lyx-1.5 sets it to
latin9, this does not work for textdegree.
On my debian system are both encodings installed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ locale -a|grep de
de_DE
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
de_DE.iso88591
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
de_DE.utf8
deutsch
In the preferences dialog I found no possibility to tell lyx, which encoding
to use. My workaround: put the "Use language's default encoding" off and put
in the latex preamble \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}.
Now textdegree works, and as I am writing text about chemistry with a lot of
textdegree symbols I have only one change to do to make my scripts working
again with this very nice lyx-1.5.
The correct way to solve that bug is to complement the file lib/symbols
with the proper unicode code-point for the degree symbol, that is U000B0.
Abdel.
